The Tragically Hip Three Pistols Lyrics

Tom Thompson came paddling past
i'm pretty sure it was him
and he spoke so softly
in accordance to the growing of the dim

he said, "bring on a brand new renaissance
'cos i think i'm ready
i've been shaking all night long
but my hands are steady"

three pistols came
and three people went on their way
three pistols strong
and three people spent

well he found his little, lonely love
his bride of the northern woods
but she took me to the Opera House
like he said she would

then she sighed as she fell from the balcony
shakespeare's bent to touch
she never had any time for me
'cos i didn't protest enough

three pistols came
and three people went on their way
two pistols strong
and three people spent

little girls come on Remembrance Day
placing flowers on his grave
she waits in the shadows 'til after dark
just to sweep 'em all away

i say 'bring on a brand new renaissance
'cos i think i'm ready
well i've been shaking all night long
but my hands are steady

three pistols came
and three people went on their way
three pistols strong
and three people spent

three pistols came
and three people went on their way
one pistol strong
and three people spent
